Makeup and Beauty Blog Monday Poll, June 7

Organized and ready to handle some bidness! I spent yesterday afternoon straightening out my workspace because clutter kills!

What’s been the most inspirational makeup collection for you?

I’d been using the same brown, pink and taupe palette for most of my life until the Barbie Loves MAC release a few years ago. That collection was like the match that lit my makeup fire! It was a gateway drug to a full-blown beauty addiction.

What are your favorite three cities in the world?

Honolulu, New York City and Please-Don’t-Call-It-Frisco

Describe your sense of beauty and style.

Classic with a pinch of eclectic (code word for strange), edgier colors thrown in for good measure.

If you wrote a memoir, what would it be titled?

The Life and Times of a Cat Lady, or maybe Karen: The Girl Who Couldn’t Spell Freedom, LOL!

What’s the last “coolest” thing you’ve bought?

A pair of dangly shell chandelier earrings from H&M; they were hella cheap and go with everything. I don’t expect to have them long, though, because I’m bad about losing jewelry.

The most played song on your iPod?

I have no idea how it happened, but I’ve played Sheryl Crow’s Always On Your Side 851 times.

Where do you go to get your staple makeup/beauty items?

Mostly MAC counters and MAC Pro stores, Target and Sephora.

Outfit:

A gray sundress and flip flops. It’s supposed to be in the ’80s here today, so, yay/yea, summer!

Weekly goals:

To not let all of the time I spent organizing my workspace go to waste, to do more stretching, to run at least three times, to plan another fun day out with my girlfriends for some time in July and to go shopping for some new treats and toys for Tabs (he likes scratching posts and Pounce! treats).

Hello, and happy manic Monday, friends!

Here’s a seemingly random question, but if you have pets, do they go through phases where they’re more lovey than usual? After ignoring me for days like a petulant teenager, Tabs has again deemed me worthy of his affections.

While I slept on my side last night, he balanced precariously on my hip, adoring me with his eyes (kinda awkward when said cat’s 15 pounds and clumsy). And then this morning before I got out of bed he plopped down on my chest and blew stinky gravy breath in my face.

I know his newfound adoration won’t last long, so I plan to enjoy it while it lasts.

How’s your Monday coming along? Hope things got off to a fab start. Do you have a minute for the Monday Poll?

I hear ya on the pets being randomly affectionate. I have a dog who acts more like a cat (i.e. She only comes to you if she wants to.) but since my sister’s been gone for six months on study abroad, the poor dog is lonely all the time. She walks up to me and demands to be picked up. But other times, I try to get her attention and she just walks on by without even looking at me! That hurts.

1. Mood: Optimistic. I’ve been suffering from a muscle spasm for 9 days BUT, I have one (group) paper left, packing, moving, my mom & brother get here this week, may go dress shopping & birthday dinner with friends, and I graduate Friday/Saturday/Sunday! Plus, I found awesome summer housing (on-campus grad housing means I have NO COMMUTE!) for really cheap today, finalized that, and SO and I are leaving for Germany and Greece next week! It’ll be a jam-packed week and weekend, but I’m suuuuuper excited!

10. Your weekly goals: … not die? And have fun in the process! LOL… I would like to be fully packed by Thursday night, finish selling off all furniture by Saturday, go dress shopping with my friends, arrange dinner to celebrate someone’s birthday, and finish our last group paper on time. And so… that means laundry done by tomorrow… D:
